This incredible multi-colored book tells the story and history of 75 shades of colors, hues, and dyes. As you read each page you learn the importance of each color and its effects from politics to pop culture.
Indonesian author Kurniawan switches gears after the epic realism of his acclaimed BEAUTY IS A WOUND with the best action-packed crime comedy about murder for hire and male impotence you'll read this year! A traumatized hitman and his near-invincible gangster girlfriend are just trying to live and love on the mean streets, but can they escape the pull of the underworld? This book is a blast and a half!
What can I say about this magnificent novel? A young Swedish immigrant is separated from his older brother on their way to America. Thus begins an epic journey from California to New York – an anti-Western. Set amidst the Gold rush – this book is amazing.
This novel takes place in a town that can only be described as "curmudgeonly." Its host of characters range in both age and species. Over the course of an evening the sleepy town descends into chaos. Full of a distinctively Eastern European brand of magical realism, this is an enchanting fireside tale.
You may know him from his bestseller A Gentleman In Moscow, but Amor Towles got his literary start with this beautiful, subtle novel about a woman finding her place in the upper echelons of 1930's New York. In crisp, sparkling prose this book will transport you into a world of opulence and witty banter before slowly unveiling the cracks in its facade.
The Poisonwood Bible is a book about a family undergoing change. Their journey is powerful, heartwarming, and leaves an impact on the reader that is hard to forget. I recommend this book to anyone who craves a genuine story that can move people.
A gorgeous celebration of BIPOC literature - books, booksellers, and authors. New Year's Resolution: expand horizons. Check!
